Table 3. Latent Profiles of Caregiver-Youth Discrepancies on the CBCL and YSR, Respectively (N = 420).

Latent Variables

Latent Profile N Profile Prevalence Mean Assignment Probability Mean SDS: CBCL/YSR Domains Child Gender (% Boys) Child Age (M [SD]) Ethnicity (% African American
Youth ≫ Caregiver 56 13.3% .94 -1.50 42.9% 13.82 (2.04) 51.8%
Youth > Caregiver 147 35% .90 -.44 47.6% 13.84 (1.78) 66.7%
Caregiver > Youth 173 41.2% .91 .46 54.3% 13.30 (1.82) 74%
Caregiver ≫ Youth 44 10.5% .91 1.56 65.9% 13.16 (1.74) 68.2%
Total 420 100% .91

Note. Youth ≫ Caregiver = Youth Reports Much Greater on Average; Youth > Caregiver = Youth Reports Slightly Greater on Average; Caregiver > Youth = Caregiver Reports Slightly Greater on Average; Caregiver ≫ Youth = Caregiver Reports Much Greater on Average; CBCL = Child Behavior Checklist; YSR = Youth Self-Report; SDS = Standardized difference scores based on caregiver (CBCL) and youth (YSR) reports. The mean assignment probability is based on the value used to assign each individual caregiver-youth dyad to a latent profile; higher values indicate greater confidence that the caregiver-youth dyad was assigned to the correct class. Tests of analysis of variance suggested that there were no significant differences among the profiles in mean assignment probabilities.
